This article is about the printmaking process called collography. For information about calligraphy, see
calligraphy. Collography is a
printmaking process in which materials are applied to a rigid substrate (such as
cardboard or
wood),
ink is applied to the resulting
collage, and the board is printed onto
paper or another material. The resultant print is termed a collograph. The term "collography" is derived from the
Greek word collo, meaning
glue, and the
English word graph meaning the activity of
drawing. Collography is a very open printmaking method. Ink may be applied to the upper surfaces of the plate with a
brayer for a
relief print, or ink may be applied to the entire board and then removed from the upper surfaces but remaining in the spaces between objects, resulting in an
intaglio print. A combination of both intaglio and relief methods may also be employed. A
printing press may or may not be used.
